Not such a great start lol.

 

[SilenceS]

Ump not giving Lester the edges but gave Sanchez

 

[SilenceS]

Lester is not a good defender. That was like bad news bears there

 

[Omeletpants]

worst unis ever today

 

[Diehardfan]

Not sure I've ever seen a team that blows so hot and cold offensively. They now have exactly one legitimate hit in the last 12 innings. That's a BA of like .027

 

[zack54attack]

Offense not good so far today..

 

[zack54attack]

Lester = Not good.

 

[SilenceS]

What a play by Baez

 

[zack54attack]

Wow Javy!

"Blows" is the key word here. The wind has been "blowing" in 15-20 mph for the last 13 innings, fyi.

Schwarber and Bryant already hit homeruns today on a normal day, not even a blowing out day. For sure those two got knocked down to left and center.

Anyway, if you are ever wondering...

Coming into the game Sanchez had been giving up lots of hits but nothing deep, oddly the Cubs didn't seem to try to play that strategy while the nationals smartly are playing small ball today and matriculating runs where they can.

Just in case you missed it.....there are other ways to score in baseball than hitting home runs.

 

[SilenceS]

Wow! Sanchez drops a bunt and it wouldnt go foul

 

[zack54attack]

Oh for fucks sake.

 

[zack54attack]

What the fuck was Kris Bryant doing trying to bunt?

don't tell me, tell the cubs. This is their homefield and they should be able to look at the flag and adjust their strategy today, which is what Bryant was probably doing, but too late now. Now they need a big inning.

This Cubs season is like a box of chocolates.

Does anyone think that any of these cubs hitters have ever worn a bright white batting helmet in their lives?
